What to do if my GE PT7800 control display is lit but the oven will not start?
Several factors can prevent your oven from starting. First, ensure the clock is set. Next, check that the door is securely closed. After selecting your cooking preferences, press the Start/Pause pad or selector dial. Also, make sure you have entered a cooking time.

Why does my GE PT7800 Oven sometimes take longer to preheat to the same temperature?
The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time. Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat, so remove some racks. The different cooking modes use different preheat methods to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode, so some modes will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake multi).
Is it normal for my GE PT7800 door glass to appear "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color?
